Lynn L. Alexander is making me think again!
Lynn L. Alexander, oh Lynn, where do you come up with these monthly questions? You always have some unique questions. Some easy. And some make us think.
So, off we go. Here’s a little about me.
1. Would you rather be a horse or a tortoise?
Definitely a tortoise! Horses are beautiful, and I love to look at them. But horses and I don’t really get along. The last time I was on one (my mom’s horse), he brushed me off on a stop sign on the way back to the house.
I’ve had tortoises. And they’ve never brushed me off on a stop sign. Of course, I guess I’ve never tried to ride one either.
When I was growing up, we had several desert tortoises. And years back, I had six box turtles and two tortoises — a Sulcata Tortoise and a Leopard Tortoise.
I do NOT like winter. I would love to be able to hibernate through winter, and I’ve often joked that I used to be either a tortoise or a bear in another life and I got to hibernate every winter.
So yes, if I had to pick one — I would be a tortoise!
